Summary Effect of copper on zinc absorption by wheat (Triticum aestivum L. variety WG 357) seedlings and its translocation within the plant was studied in a nutrient solution culture using Zn65. Zinc absorption was increased linearly with time within the limits studied (upto 80 minutes). It decreased, however, with increasing concentration of copper in nutrient solution. Plotting of the reciprocals of rates of zinc absorption vs zinc concentration showed that copper concentration in the nutrient solution inhibited zinc absorption, and this inhibition was competitive. Copper decreased only the absorption of zinc but not its translocation from roots to shoots. re]19750219
